Below are the Provisional Rules and Guidelines for the administration and
management of the DHET bursary scheme.
1) All students enrolled in a state funded programmes must be subsidized by the state at 80
% of the programme cost.
2) The difference of 20 % for the programme costs which constitutes College fees must be
recovered from the student. The bursary amount covers the 20% portion of student fees for
academically deserving and yet financially needy students.
123) Students are liable for the payments of the 20 % college fees
4) Academically deserving and financial needy students can apply for financial aid to settle the
20 % college fees.
5) It is the responsibility of the student to apply for a bursary.
6) It is the responsibility of the College to inform and assist new students with the application
process and to update students concerning the status of their bursary application.
Returning students previously funded by NSFAS do not need to apply
7) The academic merit of the student must be assessed using the academic record when
awarding bursaries to students. This is conducted by NSFAS through the evaluation stage.
8) Both the criteria for financial need based on proof of income and the academic merit based
on academic record will be applied.
9) Repeaters will NOT be awarded a bursary to repeat the level that they failed
10) For new level 2 and new Report 191 N1 and N4 students, academic criteria must be applied
using the school report, NSC, N3 statement of results and the selection and placement test
tool results.
11) NCV students can be awarded bursaries up to a maximum of four years. The fourth year
bursary should be awarded only in the fourth year of study (after Level 4) to allow students
to complete any outstanding subjects. No bursaries should be awarded in the fifth year of
study.
12) Report 191 students may also be awarded bursaries if they successfully completed N3
and N6 and have outstanding subjects for full certification. This provision is made for a
period of 6 months and it is applicable to continuous study which will be paid at prorate i.e
proportional to 6 months.
13) Where bursaries are awarded for outstanding subjects only, the costs per subjects should
be calculated as follows:
• NC(V) cost per subject: programme cost (20 % which is the college fee) divided by 7,
• Report 191 cost per subject: programme cost (20 % which is the student college fee)
divided by 4.
14) Bursary recipients who switch from one programme to another i.e from NC (V) to Report 191
N1-N3 vice-versa or change programmes within an NC (V) programme or Report 191 during
the course of their study ARE NOT ELIGIBLE for Financial Assistance.
15) Bursary recipients who complete NC(V) L4 are not eligible for bursaries should they want to
enroll for N1-N3 similarly bursary recipients who complete Report 191 N4-N6 are not eligible
for financial assistance should they want to enroll for NC(V)
16) However, bursary recipients who complete NC(V) Level 4 are eligible for financial assistance
should they want to enroll for Report 191 N4-N6
17) All unutilized monies cannot be reallocated by Colleges; the college must return all unutilized
monies to NSFAS for redistribution.
18) The above awards are maximums; the financial aid committee can decide to adjust awards
but not exceed the set maximum awards by DHET.
1319) Students who reside within a radius from zero (0) KM from the college should be considered
for an award for travel allowance.
20) Students whose home address is forty (40) km or more from the College may be considered
for an award for accommodation allowance.
21) It is mandatory that students allowance for travel and accommodation be issued in tranches
rather than as a lump sum.
22) The minimum requirement of 80 % class attendance per month must be taken into
account when determining whether or not to continue making payments for transport and
accommodation allowance tranches.
23) Therefore, the release of student allowance for travel and accommodation must be
dependent on the 80 % minimum class attendance.
24) The principal must submit on a monthly basis a consolidated report on the NSFAS
comprehensive bursary beneficiaries who failed to comply with the requirement of 80 %
minimum class attendance.
25) The report must be sent to the Deputy Director-General (DDG): VCET and the CEO of NSFAS.
26) All the monies accumulated from failing to meet the 80 % monthly class attendance would
be retained by NSFAS together with the dropouts.
27) College employees are not allowed to provide accommodation and transport services to
beneficiaries of the DHET TVET College Bursary Scheme
28) The Principal must submit a bi-annual reports on verification of residential addresses of
beneficiaries of travel and accommodation allowances to the DDG: VCET.
29) Students and College Officials who will be found to have defrauded the DHET TVET College
Bursary Scheme should be subjected to internal disciplinary hearing and should also have
criminal charges laid against them.
30) NSFAS will be paying the students direct for their allowances
31) In the event that these suspects are found guilty, the relevant sanctions should apply,
withdrawal of bursary, cancellation of allowance, disqualification from ever applying for
NSFAS bursary, repayment, expulsion/dismissal and so forth.
32) See the checklist below for the documents to be attached to the application forms
